Choice system

Masterhand

Hello dear forum.
I want to ask about making a choice system like "walking dead" or "fallout" series.
when you select the option, you don't need to make another passage and it show in the same passage.
and you could make 3 decisions (Evil,Neutral,Good) and this decisions change the history based in your karma.
*you can recommend me another type of format to make it more easier.
And im using harlowe.

I cant help much on the show choice output in the same passage area, however for the karma system, you would need to use the Set macro. something like:

(set: $GoodKarma to 1)

As your player makes good karma choices, you can do

(set: $GoodKarma to $GoodKarma + 1)

Or if the choice is a really great "good choice" you can set GoodKarma + 5 or whatever.

You can then use $GoodKarma to influence the options players see based on the value of GoodKarma.

Alternatively, to add 1 to the variable:

(set: $variable += 1)
